HarmonyOS NEXT will bring several improvements for applications along with a new “app pre-installation” feature. From the name, the tool makes the app launches not only faster but quite stable. It eliminates unnecessary buffers when opening an app.
Huawei has officially announced a new HarmonyOS NEXT feature called – app pre-installation. It is also known as installation pre-loading. The tool is capable of dynamically improving the speed of opening apps on smartphones or tablets.
App pre-installation simply refers to loading application data before it gets opened. This happens via a short process. When activated, the feature lets the app load its data into the local cache memory of the device at the time when it is being installed.
Since the app data remains present in advance, it doesn’t take time to launch. The feature directly uses the cached data to display the content when the app launches on the device. As a result, your favorite application on the device will load in no time.
The description further reads that the HarmonyOS NEXT app pre-installation feature doesn’t require any special SDK integration. Also, it doesn’t alter the original data format of the app. Hence, users don’t have to worry about any kind of data loss.

Speed: The main benefit of the pre-installation feature is the app loading speed. It becomes 50% faster than before. When enabled, the feature opens the application in a second without any extra effort, compared to the previous software versions.
If you require quick access to certain applications daily then this feature can play wonders for you. Huawei said that the pre-installation is quite useful for various fields like news, tourism, medicine, culture, and other industries in the native region.
Everything combined, pre-installation is a multi-industry layout feature that is safe, reliable, and easy to access. Users can directly activate it and enjoy a faster experience.

Developers can initiate pre-installation by following these steps:
- Log in to AppGallery Connect
- Now turn on the pre-installation and bind cloud features
- Select Integrated pre-installation
- Tap on effect verification
Note that pre-installation is free. But if it uses the cloud to implement the pre-installation and surpasses the free quota then it will require a recharge of a certain amount.
More such features are there in HarmonyOS NEXT that aims to boost the user experience by providing the fastest app launches, smoother functions, and seamless performance. The company might unveil more HarmonyOS NEXT enhancements in the time ahead.
